I just noticed that the PC/IX login command will accept
the superuser passwd as valid for any user. This is not
the case on BSD systems, and I don't know if it comes
from System III (or V), or is special to PC/IX.
The login man page doesn't mention the feature, although
it does discuss items with a similar audience (restricting
root logins on certain terminals, and a logfile of root
logins).

That is a feature from Interactive and is also available on their IS/3 system for the 750/780. It's *very* useful. -- Robert Berlinger ...{philabs,cucard,pegasus,ihnp4,rocky2}!aecom!naftoli
